Running a swimming school is much more than teaching how to float or perfecting the front crawl. It involves coordinating schedules, tracking payments, managing endless waiting lists, and keeping parents and students happy. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in paperwork and spreadsheets, this practical use case is for you.

Typical Pain Points of a Swimming School

Before talking about solutions, let's identify the most common problems swimming school managers face:

• Student management: Data scattered across Excel, paper files, or multiple tools that don't communicate with each other. Losing a student's history is easier than it seems.
• Finances: Tracking monthly fees, receipts, late payments, discounts, and vouchers. Reconciling payments becomes a monthly headache.
• Waiting lists: When a group is full, how do you manage requests? Are you losing enrollment opportunities because you don't follow up properly?
• Communication with parents: Informing about schedules, changes, events, or incidents requires a clear and accessible channel.

If you identify with this, you're not alone. The good news is there's a way to solve it without investing in expensive software or developers.

The Solution: An Agile and Customizable CRM

Imagine a system that centralizes all your school's information: students, payments, waiting lists, schedules, and communication, all in one place. That's possible with NEXGestión, a minimalist and extremely fast CRM that lets you create custom modules without writing code.

With NEXGestión, you define the fields you need: student name, swimming level, group, assigned instructor, date of birth, emergency contact, etc. The flexibility is total.

Student Module: All Your History at a Click

Forget searching through filing cabinets. With the student module, you have a complete view of each student: their progress, attendance, evaluations, and any relevant notes. You can filter by group, level, or instructor, and export reports in seconds.

Additionally, with granular permissions, you can give your instructors access only to what they need to see, while you maintain full control.

Clear Finances: Track Payments and Receipts

The finance module lets you record monthly fees, generate automatic receipts, and track late payments. Set up reminders so the system automatically notifies parents if there's a pending payment. Everything is recorded and reconciled effortlessly.

What if a parent wants to pay by voucher? No problem, you can create a custom field for the payment type and adapt the flow to your collection method.

Waiting Lists: Turn Demand into Revenue

A waiting list is not just a list of names; it's a business opportunity. With NEXGestión, you can create a waiting list module where you record the request date, desired group, and student level. When a spot opens, the system automatically shows you who has priority.

You can even send a mass email or message to interested parties when a spot opens, reducing response time and increasing conversions.

Automation and Connections: The Power of AI

NEXGestión is not just a CRM; it's a platform that connects with other tools via APIs and Webhooks. For example, you can sync payments with your favorite payment gateway, or send notifications to parents via WhatsApp if you wish.

Additionally, with integrated AI assistance, you can generate automatic attendance reports or predict demand for certain time slots based on historical data. Automation frees up your time for what really matters: teaching swimming.

Why NEXGestión and Not Another CRM?

The market is full of generic CRMs that try to serve everyone but rarely adapt to the specifics of a swimming school. With NEXGestión, you don't have to change the way you work; we adapt the tool to you. And if you need a specific module that doesn't exist, you can create it in minutes with the AI assistant.

Our low-code/no-code approach means you are the owner of your solution, without depending on a development team. If you have an organizational problem, NEXGestión is the answer.
